Usually PM is no refunds but you can contact support and they might make an exception. If you want to continue with PM your best bet is to order a SIM off Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/Public-prepaid-postpaid-Activate-Allinone/dp/B06X9ZGDWG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=2E0RJ28XMQRVF&keywords=public+mobile+sim+card+canada&qid=1694910667&sprefix=public+mobile%2Caps%2C204&sr=8-2) as the ones direct from here can take quite a while to receive.

Esims are free for new activations, so you shouldn't have had to pay for it.

Check here for a list of local retailers that may have physical sim cards:

Or buy from Amazon for $4.99:

If you already signed up for a plan and have been charged, fastest way to get a physical SIM is to call your local Telus stores to see if they have them available. If they do they are $10 each. You can purchase off of Amazon as well... Public Mobile SIM Depending where you are, Kijiji might work too.

@Marali

The cost of an eSIM is free so your refund is $0.

Did you check to see if your phone is eSIM compatible first before sign up?

You can purchase a SIM from a Telus/Koodo store for $10 or from Amazon for $4.99.
